Public Image and Relations With Other Units
The military police has been suffering from a negative public image almost since its inception, mostly for reporting on soldiers for minor misconducts which cause their punishment, usually in the form of confinement to the soldier's base or to a military prison.
The corps's deterrence power has weakened however, together with the overall level of discipline in the IDF, although there is no proof of a link between the two. In 2007, military policemen (in all sectors) suffered 64 physical attacks – 53 on duty, and 11 off-duty. Jail instructors are generally assaulted off-duty, while the opposite goes for policemen in the law enforcement sector.

Famous quotes containing the words public, image, relations and/or units:
“If human beings are to survive in a nuclear age, committing acts of violence may eventually have to become as embarrassing as urinating or defecating in public are today.”
—Myriam Miedzian, U.S. author. Boys Will Be Boys, ch. 3 (1991)
“You say your own soul supplies you with some sort of an idea or image of God. But at the same time you acknowledge you have, properly speaking, no idea of your own soul. You even affirm that spirits are a sort of beings altogether different from ideas. Consequently that no idea can be like a spirit. We have therefore no idea of any spirit.”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
“Happy will that house be in which the relations are formed from character; after the highest, and not after the lowest order; the house in which character marries, and not confusion and a miscellany of unavowable motives.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Even in harmonious families there is this double life: the group life, which is the one we can observe in our neighbour’s household, and, underneath, another—secret and passionate and intense—which is the real life that stamps the faces and gives character to the voices of our friends. Always in his mind each member of these social units is escaping, running away, trying to break the net which circumstances and his own affections have woven about him.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
